So many are the causes of fear, and they all come out of
one’s own heart.
Some fear slander from others, fear their attacks and plotting; and some fear their envy. One who believes in the envious eye and its harm will keep afraid. The cause of his fear is not the power of the envious eye, but the weakness of his heart that believes in that.—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
